D Correct answer
Explanation

The Third Five Year Plan (1961-66) failed due to multiple external shocks: Chinese aggression (1962), war with Pakistan (1965), and successive poor monsoons causing agricultural distress. However, famine did NOT occur during this period - the major Bengal famine happened much earlier in 1943. The question asks what did NOT contribute to failure.
